Chapter 312 Catwoman Hermione

After coming out of the principal's office on the eighth floor, Kyle happily greeted every portrait he passed. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆̆c ̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̋̌

Hogwarts is indeed full of surprises. Who would have thought that on this ordinary Christmas, he would not only see the legendary ashes of Nirvana, but even get a small bottle.

It's like a dream.

Kyle didn't know how long it would take for Fox to reach Nirvana, but it would certainly not be short... Dumbledore's eyes were red at the time, and it was the first time Kyle had seen him lose his temper like this.

Moreover, in Newt's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", there is no specific time for the Phoenix's rebirth. This means that from the time he wrote the book until now, Fox has not experienced nirvana.

If this is the case, then the interval between Fox's Nirvana must be at least more than sixty years...

Of course, this refers to the time in the natural state, and special circumstances such as eating the life-killing curse are not included.

Kyle couldn't help but take out the small bottle again and studied it under the dim light...

At least sixty years, a small handful of ashes... This can be said to be the most precious material in the magic world, and there is no one.

According to legend, the ashes left after the Phoenix's nirvana contain both death and rebirth, which are the dreams of countless alchemists and potion masters.

Kyle even suspected that the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, might have used the ashes of the Phoenix's Nirvana.

If you have the chance, you can study it.

Kyle looked back at the gargoyle at the door of the principal's office, subconsciously quickened his pace, and trotted all the way down the stairs.

When he arrived on the first floor, he met two acquaintances in the foyer.

"Harry, Ron?"

Kyle said hello and asked, "What are you doing here so late?"

The two were startled and turned around quickly, looking nervously at Kyle who suddenly appeared.

"Sleep, can't sleep... let's go out for a walk..."

"You...why are you here!"

The two of them clung to each other, as if they had been caught wandering at night.

"Oh, I just came out of the principal's office." Kyle said casually: "But are you wearing the wrong clothes? Why are you so big...wait, that tail..."

"What a tail, you got it wrong...haha..." Harry stammered.

Ron nodded hurriedly, "That's right. You must be too tired from reading."

In this cold weather, they were sweating.

Something's wrong...these two people just have "guilty conscience" written all over their faces.

Kyle suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "Professor McGonagall, why are you here?"

"Professor McGonagall!"

"ah!"

Harry and Ron looked back at the same time, but the next second, they found that there was no one behind them.

But at this time, Kyle also saw clearly what was hidden behind them...a big, earthy, furry head, which seemed to be...a cat?

When Kyle called out Professor McGonagall, she was also startled and subconsciously raised her head.

Sure enough, it was a cat, but with a human body and wearing the same ill-fitting robe.

Kyle looked at her carefully and asked uncertainly: "Hermione?"

"Ah!" The other party screamed and quickly covered his face.

Kyle looked at Harry and Ron.

The two sighed, acquiescing.

The ill-fitting school uniform, coupled with Hermione turning into a cat...

Kyle couldn't help but ask: "Could she have drank polyjuice potion with cat hair on it?"

The two chose silence again.

After a moment, Ron asked softly: "Is there anything you can do?"

"The Restoration Spell should be useful." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Lockhart mentioned it in "Wandering with Werewolves", but I don't know how. If you want, you can maybe ask Lockhart. See if he still remembers the spell..."

"Lockhart?" Harry's eyelids twitched and he immediately shook his head and said, "Is there any other way?"

"Other ways..." Kyle frowned, "I'm not sure it will work. Forget it, let's send her to the school hospital first. Madam Pomfrey must have a way."

"Oh well."

Harry and Ron nodded, covered Hermione again, and walked towards the school hospital.

Fortunately, it was a holiday and it was already very late. Apart from Kyle, they met no one else along the way.

…

"It's very troublesome..."

In the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey carefully checked Hermione's condition and raised her head solemnly.

"Didn't Professor Snape teach you that Polyjuice Potion cannot transform animals?"

"We don't know... that's animal hair..." Ron said hesitantly.

He and Harry were ready to come clean, whether it was stealing from Snape's personal storeroom or secretly brewing Polyjuice Potion.

The most important thing now is to let Hermione return to her original state. As for the punishment they will receive in the future, they can no longer control that much.

"How reckless... careless..." Madam Pomfrey said angrily: "You don't even know what the ingredients of the potion are, and you dare to pour them into your stomach. You are really lucky."

She scolded Harry and Ron, but she didn't ask where their Polyjuice Potion came from, nor did she ask what they wanted to do.

Then Madam Pomfrey took out her wand and tapped Hermione a few times.

Large patches of hair fell off, but more remained on her body.

"She will need to be treated here for at least five weeks before she can recover."

Madam Pomfrey waved her hand and began to drive people away, "Now, you should go back."

"We can watch here..."

"No!"

Harry was rejected before he finished speaking. No matter what reason he used, Madam Pomfrey would not allow them to stay here.

In desperation, the two could only say goodbye to Hermione and left the school hospital room, looking back every few steps.

"Why are you still here?" Madam Pomfrey looked at the side, Kyle, who had no intention of leaving at all.

"Madam Pomfrey," Kell asked, "I want to know if the leaves of mandrake can be used for this kind of wrong transformation caused by the potion."

"Mandra?"

"I saw it in a book." Kell said, "Someone used mandrake leaves to restore people who were turned into octopuses to their original appearance."

"Don't tell me it's Lockhart's book."

Kel nodded.

In fact, he saw it in the book "Holiday with Hags."

"Mandra and lovage can be used together to restore those whose appearance has changed due to curses and transformations."

Madam Pomfrey said seriously, "But the resurrection potion requires not leaves, but the juice of mature mandrake."

"Resurrection potion?"

"That's right." Madam Pomfrey glanced at the two beds in the corner, "This can also be used to treat those who have been petrified."

Kel nodded suddenly... So Lockhart didn't understand the story and made up a formula himself.

If that's the case, there's nothing we can do.

Although the seeds given by the Ministry of Magic last time happened to include Mandrake and Lovage, they are all in the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. In other words, they are not mature yet.

It takes about a year for Mandrake seeds to germinate and grow five sense organs, and this is only a seedling. It will take another year to mature.

Lovage is even slower... Like the poisonous tentacles, it will take at least three years to mature.
